CVE-2026-112185 · Severity: info · Published 2026-11-10

Eclipse Kura is an IoT edge computing platform that manages device configurations and user permissions. Attackers with basic REST API permissions can read password hashes of all users including administrators, modify user accounts and permissions, and escalate to full administrative control. This allows complete takeover of IoT devices and gateways running vulnerable versions.

## How to fix

- Fixed in 5.6.3

## Technical details

The Configuration REST API v2 fails to properly authorize access to UserAdmin persistence configuration, allowing authenticated principals with only rest.configuration permission to access resources restricted to kura.admin. Attackers can extract unsalted SHA-256 password hashes, modify user identities and permission assignments, and restore configuration snapshots—leading to privilege escalation to administrator. The vulnerability affects versions 5.1.0 through 5.6.2 and requires network access and valid REST API credentials.
